zh-CN:KEYMAP
The KEYMAP variable is specified in the /etc/vconsole.conf file (/etc/rc.conf using the legacy rc.conf format). It defines what keymap the keyboard is in the virtual consoles. Keytable files are provided by the kbd package.

Keyboard layouts

This is the list of known keymap settings to work for the corresponding keyboard layouts. Most keymaps can be found in the /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/layout (layout=qwerty, azerty, dvorak, etc.) directory.

Less common but nonetheless useful keymaps for Arch Linux are found in the /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/architecture (architecture=mac, sun, etc.) directory.

Note: In an X session, you can use setxkbmap to instantly apply keyboard layout: setxkbmap -layout dvorak

Note: If these keymaps do not work for you, make sure the keymap file exists in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/ using find: find /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/ -name "*[your desired keymap]*"
